Nvidia salary
What would be the upper range for senior engineers (software) at Nvidia?
+1, what is the comp structure like ( base only or RSU'S a thing)
Top performers at ic5 typically get 190k base plus 80-90k rsu refresh.
Thanks.So a total of ~300k?
I think 90k refresh is for four years vesting. so it's not really 300k total comp a year
how about ic3, is there RSU for that level
Nope
ok, what is the salary range
How about an m3?
Ic3 is how many years of experience after ms?
I've heard ic2 is new college grad, ic3 must be 2+ yrs after ms
Nvidians, please chime back in
I wish performance reviews were more detailed and expectations for performance were defined.
oh, is there a general lack of interest among folks just like Cisco ? are you guys looking out too ?
Joined as IC3 for 120k promoted to IC4 at 155k
Hows the Rsu refresher for ic4 , joining as senior hardware engineer?
Top performers get 50-60k , average is around 30k I guess . How many years experience do you have? What’s the initial rsu grant?
6 years of work ex , 400 Rsu
Is the review cycle Bell curve type or individual performance based ?
It is highly subjective and not merit based. They normalize it close to a value of 1.0 units, defined by a non-transparent HR metric. Depends on how much manager likes individuals, budget get shifted around. A system easily abused by useless managers who reward engineers that do the heavy lifting managerial work (planning, roadmaps, meetings, justifications, writeups) instead of rewarding the engineers who keeps the ship afloat (product user stories, design, implementation, QA, QC, process automation). Bad engineers also game the system, if you make the manager look good, you climb. TC 160
Depends on your IC level. Check the other threads.
What are the IC levels for someone with 12+ years experience?
Very much depends how you perform in interviews. Ask HR for the level. Should expect IC5.
